New Release! (BTW V4.82) - NO SPOILERS!!!!

[BrainNoMore]

The moment I started reading update log I couldn't believe what I read, thanks for what looks like another amazing update :)

Better Wolves in Better than Wolves?^^ I'm suddenly half-worried (do they explode?) half-curious to see what they now do...
Thanks for yet another amazing release!

-Fixed vanilla problem that would cause you to accidentally eat food (or drink potions) twice. Note that as part of this fix, you will only eat one food item per click, so you will not continue to eat if you just hold the mouse button down for longer than it takes to eat one item.

Ah you have my dearest thanks for this, its been one of the prime annoyances of my Minecraft life. I know I pestered about it, so apologies about that I didn't know it was in your sights to be fixed.

Another great release, thanks!

[Svartwolf]

wow! can't wait to try the new wolves! Ironically BTW already had great uses for wolves as resource and with all the HC changes as guardians, so i even can't imagine them more integrated to the mod!

and the even more hardcore wood looks good. i always felt that it made less sense steve making wood planks with its bare hands than punching wood.

another interesting update, thanks : D!

Those changes to wood seem incredibly awesome! I love that you can now use bark and sawdust as fuel. In the early game you won't be needing it anyway, and using planks as fuel seemed a real waste. That's no longer the case now =D Now to find out what those wolves are so good at now!
Thank you FC!

So, the question now is... Is Better Than Wolves with Better Wolves still Better Than Wolves?

Better Then Wolves.

And if the wolf changes are half as fun as that reference, then massive kudos to you! Now I feel forum-old again.
I really appreciate the bark as a fuel. I've literally been sticking in stacks of 64 saplings when running low on coal.

Awesome! Thank you so much for the update! Waking up to this update made it feel like a Saturday morning from my childhood all over again.

[Kezza]

Thank you FlowerChild! Very cool ideas.

I really like the change in wood processing. Before, it felt like a sort of unnecessary drag if you were to use a saw in order to process some logs into planks so I just took the lazy route and used the magical crafting grid. I really don't want to use my tool durability on wood processing. Now to find out what the wolves got in mind... Thank you, very grateful for this update. (I do apologize if my post makes no sense, it's saturday night and this is no time for me to be sober)

Hello Mr Creeper
Would you like to come over here and explode next to a tree?
Hiiiisssssssssssss ...... BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOMMM
Thanks. ;)

Creeper > (Axe / Pick Axe / Shovel)

Thanks FC. Creepers are no longer an enemy but are now an asset when correctly controlled. Instead of running away, I run towards them and train them to what I need blowing up. XD

Keep up the good work!

Incidentally the map seed "4.82" isn't a bad starting point, short on wood but lots of caves ....

[utakataJ6]

Yep. I've been using them to create cobblestone for months, and now they're even more useful. I personally find them far less threatening than either skeletons or multiple zombies, and as of this release an "asset" is the exact right phrase.

[FlowerChild]

That's just because they don't blow logs into saw dust yet, as per doug's excellent suggestion on piles from dirt.

So yeah, it's just an exploit at present that you're able to do that for wood, which I plan to resolve shortly.

Keep up the good work!

And let me quote my own post ....
FC that wasn't a derogatory statement, we've had a boatload of fun breaking a 4.82 map ...... earnestly, Thank you. ;)

I think you may have intended to post the above to the spoiler discussion Dave. I'll respond to it there ;)

Thankyou, thankyou, a thousand times thankyou! I've just changed from a trackball to a mouse and this has been plaguing me!

[ryoloth]

I must say FC, I used to hate playing in SSP but figured I would give it a shot with all the new changes you made, my god you have brought the fun back into minecraft, thank you for all your hard work :)

Oh and LOVE what you have done with the wolves :)

[Yhetti]

Okay, I already read the spoilers, so I guess I spoiled it for myself, this sounds awesome and I can't wait until I finish the ton of stuff I have to do before I get to play it. Thanks for an awesome release ahead of time, Dawg...er I mean Wolf I guess.
